Guess I should have clarified a little more. I was not advocating
putting a Flowmaster 50 on a V6. I was saying I wanted it on a V8 - my
Ram has a 360. You say its quiet? I remember hearing a Dakota R/T with
what I thoguht was a Flowmaster 50 series and it was pretty throaty.
Thats why I was thinking I wanted to go with that 50 series for the Ram.
This Dynomax SuperTurbo is their quietist muffler and its too quiet
for me. Has a nice burble at idle - but thats about it. I have a
Flowmaster 40 Delta series on Christine's 318 V8, and that sounds pretty
awesome, but I wanted something a step more mellow than a 40 series for
the Ram. Guess I try again.
I still maintain that the Gibson that Josh Battles has on his 3.9 V6 Dak
is the best thing I've heard on any V6. I'd ask him just what series
muffler he has.
